I just love my Kindergarten Team!

Here are the Back to School gifts that I gave to each K teacher and aide:

I was inspired by these:

 

Looking forward to a wonderful year!!

Kindergarten Friends,

Take a peek at your new Kindergarten classroom.

There are many fun things to do here like

painting, writing, building, playing, drawing, reading, cooking,...

I am VERY excited to meet all of you!!

What do you think your favorite center will be?

See you soon!

Okay, Owl admit it...

I have a serious problem.

Last year I was going to "try to put a few cute owl things in my classroom" and "not become a total crazy owl lady". 

Too late.

I have owl rings, owl pajamas, owl art, owl bags, owl paper weights, owl ornaments, owl... everything.

I even have an Owl Love pinterest board:

Today when I went shopping for a rug I bought all of this:

and forgot the rug! ; )

The good news is that all of my students LOVED having owls in the classroom... and did an awesome job becoming owl experts.

Check out some of their learning HERE. 

Yesterday I received an email from one of my students with 

this ADORABLE picture attached:

Sam,  I just LOVE this picture!
 THANK YOU for sharing it with me!

Tomorrow I will be posting pictures of my classroom. 
I have worked really hard on creating a more organized, cheerful place to learn. : )
